I love English: Hello from London

Hi world

What's for lunch?

British school lunches at the canteen are often criticized for being unhelathy. That's why many teenagers prefer to take a packed lunch. But packed lunches are worse!
25% of lunches contain sweets, crisps and a sugary drink. Only 1% of packed lunches are helathy. Maybe parents should get a prize when they prepare a healthy lunch!

Money for learning:

Do you think school children should receive money to learn? Well, some 13-year-olds in the USA get almost 400 euros per year from the government for getting better grades. Prizes like money, cinema tickets and iPods motivate poor children to get good grades and go to university.

Jurassic watch:

This watch is very special-its face contains fragments of real Jurassic dinosaur bones. The only problem is the price. At 219,000 euros, you'll need to have lots of pocket money if you want to buy one!

Crazy about Robert:

Attention Robert Pattinson fans!!! You can now meet your idol at Madame Tussauds museum in London. With american actors Zac Efron and Johnny Deep, Robert is one of the most popular waxworks. He took four months to make and cost 170,000 euros. And now there's a big queue of fans who want to kiss him!

Fans will do anything for Robert Pattinson, the actor in the Twilight trilogy. one girl asked Pattinson what she could do to get his attention. As a joke, he said "Take your clothes off". But it wasn't funny when the girl really started to undress. Be careful what you say to fans in futur, Robert!

Teenagers love sleep:

Pupils ina aschool in the north of England can now stay in bed for one more hour a day. Lessons now start at 10am instead of 9am. And the results have been very positive: lateness has fallen by 8% and absence from school has fallen by 27%. Pupils also get better grades in English and Maths. Imagine if this was your school!
